Create Enterprise Outline for next Milestone

[alinn86]

Hello all,

I am currently trying to create an enterprise outline code to show the
next Milestone for a given Project. I would like to have this show in
PWA across many projects (85+). Any insight into how to do this would
be appreciated.

BIGGER PICTURE:

I am trying to create a dashboard for all this projects using the EPM
solution and Sharepoint Web Parts as the impl. If anyone has any
thoughts on this I am all ears as well.

Thanks,
Andy

Hi Andy,
I am sharing my thought with you but I have not tried it.Milestone is a task
flag field.The logic is to convert this to into a date for indicating the
next milestone date in project enterprise custom field by means of a
formula.Perhaps you will need another enterprise custom text field to show
the task name for the milestone. The logic for the next milestone formula can
be achieved with help of current date(now) and linking it with milestone flag
using IFF statements.
You may try this- just a wild thought

Turns out that there is no way to access the data that I wanted. Had
to do it all through the PDS Interface, and as this isn't ideal for my
purposes it ultimately gives me more flexibility.
